The Christine B. Foundation is ‘cooking up’ new ways for patients with cancer and their families to access nutritional meals, through the nutritional assistance program.
The CBF Recipe Committee is pleased to announce that each month recipes will be built using the specific items offered in each grocery package. Cancer survivors, chefs, dietitians, and community members make up this committee, each taking a careful look at how you can prepare meals in your kitchen with CBF’s support.
The May Recipe of the Month is: Spring Pasta Salad.
Enjoy!
